To make these twice baked potatoes, I started by brushing four large baking potatoes with vegetable oil and placing them on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Then I baked the potatoes for an hour.

After an hour, I removed the potatoes from the oven.

I sliced the potatoes in half lengthwise.

Then I scooped most of the potato flesh out of the skin, leaving just a thin layer of potato to help the skin keep it’s shape.

I placed all of the cooked potato into a large mixing bowl.

I added some softened butter and sour cream to the bowl.

I also added some milk, salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the bowl.

I used a potato masher to mash the potatoes and incorporate all of the ingredients into the potatoes.

I added some crumbled bacon and shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the bowl.

I stirred the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese into the potato mixture.

I placed all of the potato skins on the parchment lined baking sheet.

I scooped the mashed potato mixture into the potato skins.

Then I sprinkled some shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes.

I sprinkled some crumbled bacon and chopped green onions on top of the cheese.

Then I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the potatoes until the cheese on top was completely melted and just starting to brown around the edges.

I removed the potatoes from the oven.

I served the potatoes immediately.

You can serve them with some extra sour cream on the side if desired.
